Don't Leave Me Now
Mathieu Koss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ships go by and wave at me
I try, can't breathe
There's an ocean in between
Your heart and me

I know I hurt you and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me, leave me
Took you for granted but don't
Don't leave me stranded here, I need ya, need ya

It's a long way down
If I fall without you
I know I hurt you and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
(Don't leave me, leave me)
(Don't leave me, leave me)

Stay up 'til the morning light
You're right, I'm done
I know right where I belong
I'm yours, I'm wrong, yeah

I know I hurt you and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me, leave me
Took you for granted but don't
Don't leave me stranded here, I need ya, need ya

It's a long way down
If I fall without you
I know I hurt you and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me
Don't leave me now

(Don't leave me, leave me)
(Don't leave me, leave me)

I'd hold back the ocean tide
If that's what I had to do
Let me spend my whole damn life
Making it up to you, yeah

I know I hurt you and I
I don't deserve you but don't leave me, leave me
Took you for granted but don't
Don't leave me stranded here, I need ya, need ya

It's a long way down
If I fall without you
I know I hurt you and I




I don't deserve you but don't leave me
Don't leave me now

Overall Meaning

The song "Don't Leave Me Now" by the French DJ and music producer Mathieu Koss is about a person who realizes their mistakes and seeks forgiveness from their loved one. The chorus repeatedly begs the partner not to leave, recognizing the immense value they bring to the relationship. The verse begins with the singer admiring the ships passing by, highlighting the distance between them and their significant other. They find it hard to breathe because the guilt is suffocating them. The metaphorical "ocean" between them symbolizes the emotional and physical distance created by the singer's actions.


The starting verse takes responsibility for the faults, admitting to hurting their partner and taking them for granted in the past. The remorse is evident as they plead for another chance to make things right. They express gratitude for their partner's existence and acknowledge their worth in the singer's life. The singer fears a future without their partner as they won't be able to survive the fall without them. The bridge gives hope of redemption and highlights the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to make their loved one happy. The last chorus reiterates the same plea not to leave and admits that it is a long way down if they fall without them.
